Tips on starting your new StrikeMaster Auger Powered by SOLO® Before starting your new StrikeMaster Auger we recommend these simple steps to ensure proper conditioning of your new auger powered by the legendary German motor SOLO®.

That engages all the components properly. This decompression and resistance check must be done before every pull. 5. Once you hear the engine fire, slide the choke lever to run. Continue the pulling procedure until engine starts. ...
